Mahesh
Babu,
the
Telugu
superstar
is
currently
on
a
high
with
the
success
of
his
Sankranti
release,
Sarileru
Neekevvaru.
As
always,
the
actor
decided
to
take
a
short
break
from
the
cinema
before
joining
his
next
outing
and
recently
flew
to
the
US
along
with
wife
Namrata
Shirodkar
and
kids
for
a
holiday.
However,
the
latest
reports
suggest
that
Mahesh
Babu's
trip
is
not
just
for
the
holidays,
but
the
actor
is
planning
to
undergo
surgery
in
the
US.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Mahesh
is
planning
to
get
his
knee
surgery
done
in
the
US,
before
joining
the
sets
of
his
upcoming
project
which
is
directed
by
Vamsi
Paidipally.
According
to
the
sources,
Mahesh
Babu
had
suffered
a
knee
injury
during
the
shooting
of
his
2014-released
blockbuster
Aagadu.
Even
though
the
actor
immediately
underwent
treatment
and
got
a
knee
surgery
done,
he
was
not
completely
healed.
Mahesh
was
delaying
further
treatment
due
to
his
busy
schedule,
but
the
knee
pain
has
been
troubling
him
from
the
past
few
months.
Reportedly,
the
Sarileru
Neekevvaru
actor
has
now
decided
to
get
the
knee
surgery
done
and
take
proper
rest
before
he
joins
Vamsi
Paidipally's
upcoming
untitled
venture.
The
sources
suggest
that
the
treatment
was
the
main
reason
behind
Mahesh
Babu's
decision
to
take
a
4-5
months
break
from
the
cinema.
The
superstar's
last
collaboration
with
Vamsi
Paidipally,
the
2019-released
Maharshi
was
a
blockbuster.
According
to
the
rumour
mills,
the
actor
has
doubled
his
remuneration
post
the
success
of
Maharshi.
Expectations
are
riding
high
on
the
upcoming
Mahesh
Babu-Vamsi
Paidipally
project,
which
has
been
tentatively
titled
as
SSMB
27.
The
team
is
yet
to
finalise
the
female
lead
and
rest
of
the
star
cast
of
SSMB
27,
which
is
said
to
be
an
out
and
out
action
thriller.
The
project,
which
will
go
on
floors
by
May
2020,
is
expected
to
have
an
official
launch
after
Mahesh
Babu
returns
from
the
US.
